问题     Today’s college students are more narcissistic and self-centered
than their predecessors, according to a comprehensive new study by
five psychologists who worry that the trend could be harmful to
personal relationships and American society.
    " We need to stop endless repeating ’ You’re special ’ and【S1】______
having children repeat that back," said the study’s lead author,
Professor Jean Twenge of San Diego State University. " Kids are
self-centered enough already." "Fortunately, narcissism can also【S2】______
have very negative consequences for society including the breakdown
of close relationships to others," he said. The study asserts that【S3】______
narcissists "are more like to have romantic relationships that are【S4】______
short-lived, at a risk for infidelity, lack of emotional warmth, and to【S5】______
exhibit game-playing, dishonesty, and over-controlling and violent
behaviors. " Campbell, the author of Generation Me: Why Today’s
Young Americans Are More Confident, Assertive, Entitled—and More
Miserable Than Ever Before, said narcissists tend to lack empathy,
react aggressively with criticism and favor self-promotion over【S6】______
helping others.
    Some analysts have commended today’s young people for
increased commitment to volunteer work. And Twenge viewed even【S7】______
this phenomenon skeptically, noting that many high schools require
community service and many youths feel pressure to list some【S8】______
endeavors on college applications.
    Campbell said the narcissism upsurge seemed so pronounced
which he was unsure whether there were obvious remedies.【S9】______
"Permissiveness seems to be a component," he said. "A potential
antidote would be authoritative parenting. Less indulgence might be【S10】______
called for. "
    Yet students, while acknowledging some legitimacy to such
findings, don’t necessarily accept negative generalizations about
their generation.
【S7】
选项
答案And—But
解析 连词误用。前面说“一些分析人士称赞当代年轻人越来越多地献身于志愿工作”，后句说“Twenge对此表示怀疑，因为他看到很多高中要求学生为社区服务，而且很多大学在入学申请时要求列举这些活动，年轻人出于压力才投身于志愿工作”。可见前后两句是转折关系，不是并列关系，因此将And改为But。
